Erik ten Hag’s Future Under Fire as Manchester United Sink to New Lows
Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday has sent shockwaves through Old Trafford, with many fans calling for Erik ten Hag’s head. The Dutch manager has been under pressure all season, and this latest defeat has only added fuel to the fire.
Who’s Next in Line for the Hot Seat?
According to Sky Bet, ten Hag is now second favorite to be the next Premier League manager to lose his job, with a price of 7/2. But who’s next in line to take over at United?
In a surprising twist, bookmakers Paddy Power have named former Red Devils striker Ruud van Nistelrooy as the 11/4 favorite to become the next Manchester United manager. Van Nistelrooy joined United as an assistant to ten Hag this summer, and it seems the odds are stacked in his favor.
Jamie Carragher Weighs In
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher had some strong opinions on the matter, telling the media: "I don’t think anything is going to change in terms of the football [at Man Utd]. We can see after three games what Arne Slot is about. After two years of Ten Hag, we still can’t see it."
Carragher’s comments come as a wake-up call for United’s owners, who must seriously consider whether ten Hag is the right man for the job. The manager himself seemed to hint that change might be on the horizon, saying: "We will see where we are at the end of the season."
Will Erik ten Hag Still Be Around at the End of the Season?
With the stakes so high, it’s hard to imagine ten Hag still being in charge by the end of the campaign. Carragher agrees, saying: "I would be surprised if he is still there at the end of the season."
Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure – Manchester United need to turn things around, and fast. Will Ruud van Nistelrooy be the man to lead the charge?
